Use Case
- 1200p: Perfect choice if you need a second screen. Offers great value for general use.
- 2.5K: Ideal for professionals who work long hours with a second monitor. Thanks to the 144Hz display and higher resolution compared to 1080p, it's easier on the eyes.
- 4K: A great option for those working with detailed visuals, design or coding. If you want to make the portable monitor your primary monitor in your setup, then go with the 4K monitor!
- 4K OLED: The best choice if colour accuracy and premium image quality are essential. The cutting-edge Samsung OLED panel blends well with modern Windows and Mac screens.
Mac or Windows
For Mac users, the best choices are 1200p, 4K, and 4K OLED. While the 2.5K monitor works with a Mac, the 2.5K resolution by itself may not be ideal as it makes everything look quite small and MacOS struggles with scaling down the resolution.
MacOS scales down the resolution differently from Windows, adjusting the display rather than the applications. On a Mac, scaling down a 2.5K monitor can lead to slightly fuzzy visuals if the scaled resolution doesn't divide equally. For most people, 1920 x 1200 is the optimal resolution, while 1280 x 800 px (2560 x 1600 divided by 2) makes everything look quite big. Windows handles the scaling perfectly well because it can scale down the applications.
4K, on the other hand, can be equally scaled down to 1920x1200 (3840 x 2400 divided by 2). That's why we recommend that Mac users opt for the 1080p (natively 1920 x 1200), 4K, or the 4K OLED monitor. 4K is the better option because you get a much higher pixel density and, consequently, a much sharper screen.
IPS or OLED
IPS screens are known for their high brightness levels, matte screens and energy efficiency, making them an excellent choice for general productivity and day-to-day tasks.
OLED screens deliver richer colours, deeper blacks, and higher contrast, which is ideal for creatives who need precise colour accuracy or want a more vibrant, immersive visual experience.
Both options offer excellent performance, so it's all about what best suits your needs!

FAQs
What's the difference between the OLED and IPS panels?
OLED
- Each pixel emits its own light, enabling true blacks and vibrant colours.
- Offers better contrast and faster response times.
- Ideal for high-quality visuals and dynamic content.
- Glossy screen
IPS
- Uses a backlight that shines through liquid crystals to produce images.
- Excellent for consistent colour and clarity from different angles.
- Matte screen
OLED panels excel in delivering exceptional picture quality and contrast, making them perfect for dynamic and visually demanding tasks. IPS panels provide broad viewing angles thanks to its matte screen.
Is the Tern Setups portable monitor compatible with my device?
Our portable monitors are compatible with ALL laptops and desktop computers. They also work with tablets (both iOS and Android devices). It's possible to connect the external display in two ways. You can either use the included HDMI cable or the USB-C cable.
How does the monitor get power?
For most modern laptops, the monitor gets its power from the same USB-C cable that also carries the video, so there is no need for an external power supply. A power adapter is included in case the monitor needs external power.
The monitor is also capable of power through delivery. This means that you can plug your laptop's charger into the monitor and it will power the monitor and charge your laptop at the same time.
If you use an HDMI cable, you need to deliver the power to the monitor using a power brick and a USB-C cable. The box includes all cables and the power brick.
Why doesn't my USB-C cable work?
The portable monitor comes with 2 USB-C cables. The cable labelled "Power Cable" is only meant for powering the monitor; it cannot carry video. Please use the second USB-C cable for video.
Does the magnet interfere with the electronics inside the monitor?
No, the magnet does not interfere with the electronic components inside the monitor.
While the magnet is strong enough to hold the portable monitor, it does not generate a magnetic field nearly as strong enough to interfere with the monitor's internal electronics. The components inside the portable monitor are too small to be affected by the stand's small neodymium magnet.
Lastly, our portable monitor stand has undergone rigorous testing to meet all safety and performance standards. This includes testing for any potential electromagnetic interference with electronic devices. The results have shown that our magnet does not pose any risk to the functionality or longevity of your monitor.
What is covered with the warranty?
